1018 Bergen Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The two-family home at 1018 Bergen Street in Crown Heights, owned by Ismene Speliotis, has experienced several notable issues in recent years that may impact resident quality of life. Most concerning is the building's current status with the Department of Buildings (DOB), where as of September 2024, there are active violations for failure to file required external low-pressure system inspections for both 2022 and 2023. These compliance issues suggest potential concerns with the building's safety systems.

In May 2024, the property received an oath violation related to a defective or inoperative boiler, indicating maintenance challenges with essential building systems. Going back to 2020, there was an attempted inspection regarding construction work that was performed beyond approved plans, though access was denied during two attempts to inspect the property. The building's maintenance record shows some positive aspects as well.

Importantly, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the current or previous reporting periods (2022-2023), with the most recent bedbug report from January 2024 showing zero units affected or requiring eradication. This suggests effective pest management practices in recent times. While the building's age (1920 construction) and two-story, two-family configuration are typical for the neighborhood, the recent pattern of violations and maintenance issues warrants attention to the property's current systems and compliance status.
